Leave your thoughts about Feral.
| The LensAndrew WyattThe only truly scary thing about this film is that it runs out of narrative steam with 30 or 40 interminable minutes still to go. |
| Rue Morgue MagazineDeirdre CrimminsFERAL uses its mockumentary format to its advantage, and keeps us guessing right up to the very end. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Leigh MonsonThe thought that humanity is the thing worth fearing, whether feral or civilized, is perhaps the most terrifying notion of all. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanWell-acted, and a solid example of how to build tension by first creating characters the audience can get invested in. |
| Columbus UndergroundHope MaddenTogether, cast and director generate scares by relying less on imagination and more on your familiarity with the genre itself. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMethodical and efficient, the script (by Mr. Young and Adam Frazier) gets some mileage from its generic setting and zombie-infection theme, even if the croaking order is easily predicted. |
| The Blogging BansheeMolly HeneryFeral brings excitement and terror to the "monster in the woods" subgenre of horror, but the underdeveloped virus origin almost takes away from the fear of the virus and what it does because it simply doesn't make sense. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersBut the movie isn't good. In fairness, it also isn't bad. It's just instantly forgettable... |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWhile the film features strong performances and good direction, it's still way too rote. A bunch of kids head into the forest and meet a monster. What happens next is just a matter of connecting the dots. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis isn’t a dull film, but it lacks personality as well as originality. |
